Unqualified Teacher

We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to supervise classes during the short term absence of class teachers within secondary schools. The role will include, assisting pupils in relevant activities and managing pupil behaviour in the classroom in line with the school policy and procedures. This post may particularly suit anyone who, in the future, is planning to undertake teacher training.

For a standard supply job, you'll need to have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), but there are opportunities for unqualified teachers too. You can work in secondary schools as a cover supervisor, taking the place of the usual class teacher in their absence and gain vital experience to help enhance your skills in this role. Secondary schools are willing to utilise unqualified Teachers providing you have relevant/transferable skills and experience, or recently graduated and show commitment to becoming a teacher.

The role does not require any active teaching, marking or planning. Depending on which school you are working in, duties may include:

supervising work that has been set in accordance with the school policy

managing the behaviour of pupils while they are undertaking this work to ensure a constructive environment

responding to any questions from pupils about process and procedures

dealing with any immediate problems or emergencies according to the school's policies and procedures

collecting any completed work after the lesson and returning it to the appropriate teacher

reporting back as appropriate using the school's agreed referral procedures on the behaviour of pupils during the class, and any issues arising

So what are the benefits of working in schools through Teaching Personnel?
